00:19:32

00:19:38
like myself present Uganda by the time you

00:23:29
Jackson how do you like this song Love the
song I have to mention that but the one

00:23:33
I'm like other musicians and I in this
stuff or who have tried to evolve their

00:23:37
music to feel like I'm from Pete in West
Africa you know but one has maintained

00:23:42
that authentic Ugandan feel to his music
and as much as his message is change you

00:23:49
feel like he uses probably
uses the same produces he's

00:23:52
a sense through you know same music same
feel and any Keep and I'll tell you

00:23:57
absolutely will still love it like his
songs from twenty years ago songs like I

00:24:01
love and they still get his great all
right so we're talking about Bobby wine

00:24:06
that's his new single but also we're going
to get to the second question here which

00:24:10
is aside. Bobby pin

00:24:12
a great artist from you who else is he
and why Right absolutely if you've been

00:24:18
following news around the continent of
Africa actually even global news the wind

00:24:23
has been trending there was

00:24:26
a time about two three weeks ago when Bobby
wind was arrested by that you're going

00:24:30
to government He's now a legislator
a member of parliament representing

00:24:34
a constituency where he was born and raised
and he has music studios in there he's

00:24:38
kind of a local legend he was
one of those artists who had

00:24:42
a very social message to his
music he was also very much

00:24:46
a part of the community social services
that he set out encouraging young people to

00:24:51
school providing help to families so when
it came time for him to run for Member of

00:24:57
Parliament to represent his constituency
he had a lot of support he was

00:25:01
a great surprise but he will not do
absolutely not and not as an opposition

00:25:05
politician or

00:25:07
a ruling party politician he was an
independent pretty sure OK So what has been

00:25:11
happening the last come also
the wind gets arrested after

00:25:16
a political rally in the northern part
of Uganda where he was supporting an

00:25:20
opposition politician he gets arrested in

00:25:22
a very much publicized event to the
international media his driver gets shot but

00:25:28
the one says that the target was him he
says he was going to be assassinated but

00:25:34
you know he kept narrowly but he doesn't
belong Ugandan military transition say to

00:25:41
torture the government opponents so he's
arrested held incommunicado his lawyer his

00:25:47
family could not see him for about

00:25:48
a week he comes out he says
he's been tortured and then

00:25:53
a week later he's flown to the U.S.

00:25:54
To come and get treatment here he actually
just left last week how's he doing he's

00:26:00
doing much better much better than when we
saw him coming out of detention here so

00:26:05
he's back in Uganda he just held

00:26:06
a press conference the other day
he does not like to call himself

00:26:10
a politician he. Does himself
more of an artist on

00:26:13
a politician even though he channels the
frustrations of young you governments in

00:26:17
the system Uganda's current president
during the seven has been policies nine

00:26:21
hundred eighty six when it will be one
was only four years old then so but one

00:26:25
feels like he's speaking for this generation
of his generation kind of speaking

00:26:30
truth to power I was very surprised that
his for so long released after this call

00:26:35
Come fall for that it's not

00:26:37
a political song so when you first told me
about this song chatting to which means

00:26:42
this is too much I thought it was

00:26:43
a political song Oh yeah like I gotta go

a trio from so we took in Johannesburg
South and their voices me just.

00:45:21
Looking at the site of the new so
beautiful I can try to browse it was

00:45:26
a stumble it actually means
beauty you data is that it's my

00:45:33
name isn't funny I'm proud of this way
I'm the vocalist but at old bugs because

00:45:39
that is the name peach monster peaks that's
must appear red when it's his turn to

00:45:45

invented it but no one can beat Mr V.

00:45:50
I mean you know he's the king those who bow
most of you from the sun. Yeah I'm the

00:45:55
folks are you the guy who
does the book which is.

00:46:30
The same games which sounds to.

00:46:37
Me being

00:46:38
a. Pain. In. Chad

00:46:46
can of music and rock and at the
surface very very simple but it does

00:46:52
a whole lot of things and builds houses
we were whole world like this or you know

00:46:56
what I mean we're not going to interstage
and we want to him people are oppressed

00:47:02
this royal as mad it's everywhere and it's
so i'm assuming we would go in with that

00:47:08
approach so that people could
see these three kids from

00:47:11
a widow and really our way to what would
be in Colorado be out you know. Just

00:47:18
like the song. Hello to turn on to them
and then it's announcing kind enough to

00:47:25
turn the time to the new Clinton for
something they have done this understands

00:47:29
understand. The music was cost what does
that actually consist of it's like taking

00:47:35
your Isolde music
everywhere and well that is

00:47:39
a slang for an hour oh right when he referred
to it in so it to any other people in

00:47:44
South Africa they'd go you'll find me
Mike I see in my neighborhood so it's old

00:47:49
news it from our guys and hence the
submissive in our i eat i would we grew up in

00:47:54
the late ninety's the most popular thing
was quite there was no lie that that could

00:47:59
stand. In confidence in singing instead
of rapping in why do you know so

00:48:06
singing was

00:48:08
a way of also showcasing that we have soul
music there. It is from this place that

00:48:13
it is so rich by the forms
of music. That some of us.

00:48:20
Suffer little subtle stuff. Such as.

00:48:28
Subtle subtle.

00:48:36
Subtle song most. Everyone loves

00:48:44
you describe yourselves as the centuries
version of leaves me how do you build on

00:48:47
that spawn Dacian. And this group those
those guys are legends those guys amazing.

00:48:55
To work with them on

00:48:56
a song called home we're Serbians the world
been looking up to the room from when

00:49:01
you started because of
this whole movement of

00:49:04
a cappella and the childe is that moment
where this guy's mother Lynn interjected

00:49:08
actually is skyrocketing higher
than everything and. And.

00:49:22
Something comes easy. To me like
he said it it was an out of body

00:49:29
experience when he got

00:49:30
a chance to work with them and sit through
the treaty with him and share all these

00:49:34

piercing your own is not up to me just

00:49:40
as it's come true you know and she
took it on last she and I being.

00:49:48
